abstract: 'This study examines whether a series of unemployment insurance benefit

  reforms that took place over a 20-year period in the Netherlands had a

  gendered effect on the duration of unemployment and labor market

  outcomes. Using longitudinal data from the Dutch Labor Supply Panel

  (OSA) over the period 1980-2000, and adopting a quasi-experimental

  design, we test whether seemingly `gender neutral'' institutional reforms

  result in a structural disadvantage for women in particular. Our results

  demonstrate a striking gender similarity in terms of shorter

  unemployment durations and ultimately less favorable labor market

  outcomes (lower occupational class, lower wage, part-time and temporary

  contracts) among both men and women affected by these reforms. Findings

  also indicate that disadvantaged groups (older and low-skilled female

  workers) are the most likely to experience a negative effect from state

  interventions. These findings provide support for the long-term gains of

  unemployment benefits and their role in operating as ``bridges{''''} to

  better employment.'
